11-year-old faces judge after receiving traffic citation for electric dirt bike in Oviedo<\/p>\n

\"Bob<\/a><\/p>\n

An 11-year-old boy from Oviedo appeared in a Seminole County courtroom after receiving a misdemeanor traffic citation for riding his electric dirt bike without registration or insurance. <\/p>\n

Cade Kirchner and his parents stood before the judge after an Oviedo police officer stopped him earlier this month and asked why he was riding the electric motorcycle. <\/p>\n

The officer explained that the bike, which they claim can travel up to 50 mph, is more powerful than a typical e-bike and requires registration and insurance, which Kirchner did not have. <\/p>\n

The officer issued a misdemeanor citation and fingerprinted him. <\/p>\n

Kirchner’s family declined to comment extensively, citing the ongoing legal proceedings. However, his father expressed frustration over the situation. <\/p>\n

“How ridiculous is that? He had to miss school for that,” Kirchner’s father said, adding that he custom built the bike and that it’s capped at 20 mph. <\/p>\n

The family has hired a lawyer to assist with the case.<\/p>\n

Kirchner’s next hearing is scheduled for December.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"11-year-old faces judge after receiving traffic citation for electric dirt bike in Oviedo An 11-year-old boy from Oviedo…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":414352,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[137121,164168,164169,1089,19762,7055,2339,9503,2785,2340,1224,139,141,140,5765,18296,164170,64758],"class_list":["post-414351","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-orlando","tag-11-year-old-boy","tag-cade-kirchner","tag-dirt-bike-citation","tag-family","tag-father","tag-frustration","tag-hour","tag-insurance","tag-judge","tag-mile","tag-officer","tag-orlando","tag-orlando-headlines","tag-orlando-news","tag-oviedo","tag-registration","tag-seminole-county-courtroom","tag-traffic-citation"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/414351","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=414351"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/414351\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/414352"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=414351"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=414351"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=414351"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
